The laws clearly need to be changed. A man can claim he felt threatened but has no duty to retreat...instead can go back to his car, get a gun out of the glove compartment, load it and go back and shoot a car full of kids? At least his surprised ass is going to jail for the other charges.

A Florida jury found Michael Dunn guilty on three charges of attempted murder and firing a weapon into a vehicle Saturday in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Jordan Davis after a 2012 argument outside a Jacksonville convenience store over loud music.

The jury did not reach a verdict on first-degree murder and a mistrial was declared on the charge. Dunn showed little emotion after the verdict came back from the jury of seven women and five men.

He was convicted on three charges of attempted murder and firing a weapon into a vehicle. He is facing up to 75 years in prison.

Angela Corey, Florida State Attorney, said they plan to retry the first-degree murder case.
